Sunday: After church Justin and I drove down to Fruit Heights where we had my favorite homemade dinner prepared by my mom- it was so yummy. Aint nothing like a momma's cooking am I right? After dinner we opened presents. I was of course spoiled like crazy! I got some perfume, The Hunger Games Movie, the first season of I Love Lucy, some nail polish, a gift card to Barnes and Noble, Bob Marley headphones, and a gift card to RC Willey so that I can get a new dish washer (huzzah!). After the presents we had my favorite dessert. One thing you should know about me is that I almost NEVER have cake on my birthday. My top three birthday desserts are: Cheesecake, my mom's oreo ice cream dessert, and my mom's pistachio pudding dessert. This year I chose the pistachio one. Yummmm. I don't know why I haven't learned to make it yet- probably because if I did I would eat it everyday of my life haha. After that we broke open Hunger Games dvd and watched it with the fam, half of which have never seen it before so it was a treat. The best was when my dad and brother got scared and hid under their blankets during the dog part haha. What sissies! Anyway, I just wanted to thank my family for making my birthday so special. Thanks mom for doing all of that cooking and baking! Thanks Cassie for all of the decorations! It was so nice of you to sew balloons together just for me! And thanks to the rest for the awesome presents! You guys are the best!
Monday: We left Zorro at my parents house and hit the open road. It's a long drive. A long, long drive. And unfortunately for us, it was also an expensive drive. Dang you Fillmore cop haha. So after the long drive we had a few hours to kill in St. George before Aladdin started. We decided to hit the outlets and then go to dinner at the Brick Oven. After dinner we headed to the Tuacahn to see Aladdin. Wow guys. It was awesome! There were awesome special effects! Everyone's voice was amazing, and the genie was hilarious! This show goes through the middle of October and they said they have tickets left so if you can find the time to go I would highly recommend it!! I think everyone needs to experience this outdoor theater at least once in their lives. The only problem is, is that once you go you'll want to keep going back because it is just that amazing! So after the show we headed to Beaver Dam. My grandparents have a trailer there (like one of those permanent ones) that they were kind enough to let us stay in.
Tuesday: In the morning we got some McDonald's for breakfast and ate it in front of the TV. And then we took a nap. A nice long, long nap. Cause we are getting old ya know? When we woke up we headed to Mesquite and found a 50's diner that was really cute and had lunch. After lunch we decided that we were five years old and we went to the arcade where we played air hockey, skee ball, had a car race, had a shoot out with some cowboys, and played all of the other arcade games. Gee its fun to be a kid! We then decided that none of the prizes would do us any good so we made a little boy very happy when we handed over all of our tickets to him. We then decided to go bowling. My first game I got a 142 and was very proud of myself. My second game definitely went downhill but at least I broke a hundred. It was fun. After bowling we decided to be naughty and hit up the casino. We each had five dollars and went to the one cent machines. And we lost all of our money haha. But it's okay, it was fun in the process. There was one exciting moment where I won $10.50, but then it went downhill from there. I definitely should have quit when I was ahead. One thing I noticed though was that everyone around us looked like Zombies. They just kept dumping their money into those machines- what a sad addiction. Anyway, moving on before I jump onto that soap box. We were going to go see a movie but none of the theaters were showing anything that we were dying to see so instead we grabbed some Little Caesars, The Three Stooges from Redbox, and went back to Beaver Dam and had us a nice little cozy movie night.
Wednesday: On the road again. We stopped in Nephi to have lunch at the train diner and went to Syracuse to buy us a washing machine. I can't wait to get it and have much cleaner dishes!! We picked up Zorro and headed home. What a super fun getaway! Thanks Justin for everything! You're the best hubby ever!!
